How have I never heard of Apple Cash before? How long has this been a thing?
Looks like it was introduced back in 2017 along with Apple Pay

Looks like it’s US only. I’m in the UK maybe that’s why I don’t have the option for it or even see it on my phone. Not that I would dream of using it anyway.
I saw this too. Another horrible government regulation. Only thing it has done is allow my social security number to be leaked to the dark web. It adds additional costs for the end users yet does nothing to stop actual money laundering. Yet another example of government incompetence. I’ll add it to the list.
